No peaking now, of course since we know everything who would need too !!

There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar.
Can you name at least half of them ?

Ok, since that was so easy here's a simpler one.

Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed,cooked, or in any other form except fresh.

Comma, colon, semi-colon, period, exclamation mark, question mark, quotes.... That's half

Lettuce

 

[Iddee]

Now, if I give you 50 coins, and they total 1.00, what coins did I give you?

 

[Murrell]

Let's see;
2 dimes, 8 nickles, and 40 pennies
That's remembering from long, long ago from making change the old way.
I get aggravated when they can't count out my change correctly now a days.

[Iddee]

Very good.

Now, there's another way, too. Can you find it?

 

[riverrat]

My ******* grammar has no punctuation, not even periods. Right, Iddee? ancing:

 

[Iddee]

It looks good to me. What's wrong with it? :evil: :rolling:

 

[riverrat]

My ******* grammar has no punctuation, not even periods. Right, Iddee? ancing:

now you done it ruined my repuitation on that one

 

[Iddee]

Heck, I even put capital letters in for you on that one...

 

[riverrat]

Heck, I even put capital letters in for you on that one...

if you dont use punctuation you eliminate the need for capitals :to_keep_order:

 

[Iddee]

You eliminate the meaning, too.

 

[Bens-Bees]

Ok no peaking... comma, period, colon, semi-colon, question mark, exclamation mark... oh dear. I can only name 6.

 

[Bens-Bees]

Now, if I give you 50 coins, and they total 1.00, what coins did I give you?

50 Pesos?

 

[Hobie]

Comma, colon, semi-colon, period, exclamation mark, question mark, quotes.... That's half

iddee leaves me with the hard ones.
Okay, here we go... parentheses, bracket, hyphen, dash, ellipsis...
Dang it. Now I'm going to have to go look this up!

Not sure if things like slash, octothorpe (I love that word), "number" sign, and ampersand are considered "punctuation."

Edited after cheating: I can't believe I missed "apostrophe"!!!

[riverrat]

******* information overload :bow:

 

[Hobie]

WBB - you have to give iddee credit for "question mark." I know he's familiar with them.... I send plenty his way.

As for "braces," they just bring back bad memories of my Jr. high years. *shudder*

 

[Bitty Bee]

I agree, the question mark was a given. It hadn't been named tho' only used.

If it wasn't for you mentioning the "Ellipsis" I would've never figured it out...in fact...I have been using them incorrectly...!

I never had to wear braces, only learn what they are and make pudding for my friends who did wear them.

 

[riverrat]

okay the rat has to fess up. I had to google elipsis since this word is not included in the ******* book of grammer found out we's call it dot dot dot or simply put ...

 

[Hobie]

My sister is an editor. We learn odd things from her. For instance, the phrase "begs the question" does NOT mean "raises the question" - but everyone uses it incorrectly.
